week 33 - In Season

Focus on life week 33...

Hi... my name is Ellie-Mae and I think I deserve equal billing with my Unkie Emm... who I'm sure you all remember from last week..  I look after the lilies... Ok maybe that white one in the bottom corner didn't start life as a spider lily, but I think bug chewed is kind of a neat effect. (...and mommy says the red one in the middle is a hollyhock... , how should I know that It's just a tall palnt that's fun to bat!)

My mommy tried to grow some tomatoes... isn't that the most pathatic  tomatoe plant you've ever seen!  There was also lettuce planted the bugs ate it as soon as it stuck it's little green leaves above ground!


To see what other people think is in season click on the links below... I actually think that this is mouse season but I wasn't allowed to upload my pictures of the dead mice that I/we leave in pieces all over the deck and driveway!

Another 'almost' wordless day

I have too many pictures ... This is one of my new lilies... the black (dark purple) lily never got a bud I hope it comes back next year... The pink ones glowing in the background did really well! They remind me of the ones dad has in Alberta... he grew them outside the fence in the back alley and someone stole every single flower one summer.. Their neighbor said well you would have given them to the person if they would have asked you ... wouldn't you?

ALmost wordless wednesday comes a day early!

This is one of my old lilies... if you want to see this years lilies check my website ! (once your there click on daily rant... for some reason it wanted let me post the direct link... actually it posts it, it just doesn't use it!)

Don't forget to check out my BOGOF sale on Etsy!

Where are the pictures....

OK I know i promised pictures but it is sunny and 85 here... I am not going to sit in the house editing pictures when I can be outside digging weeds! Normally in May and June we get fog until noon... although the fog does let me sleep in .. Now I get a blast of sun about 6:30 am....

My new plants are all planted think I need a few annuals or perennials to fill in some holes and a nice light rain for an hour between 3 am and 4 am.... The token picture is some of my lilies near the bead shop (summer of 2007... they were taller than me... not that that would be difficult!) the 16 lily bulbs I planted this year have about a 20% germination rate... wondering if the deer dug them out and ate them!

Time to go see what yesterdays beads look like.. I did make beads yesterday in between weeds! NO new jellyfish yesterday.. I do have some made into pendants for the gallery but I don't have any loose focals floating around .... SOON....
